Power Efficient MIMO Techniques for 3GPP LTE and Beyond K. C. Beh, C. Han, M. Nicolaou, S. Armour, A. Doufexi
Green Radio • 4 billion mobile phone users worldwide • Telecommunication industry responsible for 183 million tons of CO2 • MVCE framework (Core 5): Deliver high data rate services with a 100-fold reduction in power consumption
Green Radio and LTE • LTE next major step in mobile radio communications • Aim to reduce delays, improve spectrum flexibility, reduce cost of operators and end users • MIMO transmission techniques improve system reliability and performance • LTE support of a MIMO scheduling and precoding method with improved interface between PHY and DLC
Green Radio and LTE • Examine performance of proposed MIMO-OFDMA scheme • Consider the capabilities of MIMO-OFDMA precoding in reducing Tx. Power from Base Station (BS) • Theoretical analysis and simulation results • Maintain QoS levels with reduced Tx. Power
System and Channel Model • Spatial Channel Model Extension (SCME) Urban Macro • Low spatially correlated channel for all users • 2x2 MIMO architecture (analysis is readily extendible to higher MIMO orders) • Perfect CQI estimation and feedback • Ideal Link Adaptation based on 6 Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCS)
Random and Layered Random Beamforming • Random Unitary Matrix applied to frequency sub-carriers on Physical Resource Block (PRB) basis • Linear MMSE Receiver with interference suppression capability • MIMO channels can be decomposed into separate spatial layers • ESINR feedback for resource allocation • Random Beamforming: All spatial layers to a single user • Layered Random Beamforming: Spatial layers assigned to different users Higher Diversity
Unitary Codebook Based Beamforming • Pre-defined set of antenna beams • Pre-coders based on Fourier basis for uniform sector coverage • Variable codebook size G, consisting of the unitary matrix set • Large Codebook: Higher Spatial Granularity, Increased Feedback • Small Codebook: Low Spatial Granularity, Lower Feedback • Single-User MIMO (SU-MIMO) and Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) capability
Feedback Considerations • Full Feedback: CQI for all precoding matrices • Partial Feedback: CQI on preferred beams • Suboptimal performance for MU-MIMO with partial feedback • Codebook size G=2 assumed
Theoretical Analysis • Precoding schemes achieve varying degrees of Multiuser Diversity (MUD) (K=5) • A target spectral efficiency achieved at different SNR levels for different schemes
Theoretical Analysis • Target Spectral Efficiency 3bps/Hz • Single User SISO Benchmark • Higher benefits for increasing numbers of users • K=10, MU-MIMO, Gain= 5dB
Simulation Results • Analysis based on ideal Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) • Throughput = R(1-PER), • Results consistent with theoretical analysis
Simulation Results • Simulation performance predicts even higher gains • Actual performance PER dependent. • MU-MIMO and LRB eliminate deep fades that cause severe link degradations • MU-MIMO gain @ K=10: 7dB • SFBC suffers from inherent inability to exploit MUD
Power Efficiency and Fairness • Power Efficiency associated with a cost metric and a corresponding Power Fairness Index (PFI) • Low cost metric implies high power efficiency
Power Efficiency and Fairness • PFI indication of how fairly power is allocated to different users with respect to their achieved rates • Uplink improvements • Schemes utilising the additional spatial layer, achieve an overall higher power allocation fairness, with PFI values consistently closer to unity.
Conclusions and Future Work • Multiuser Diversity schemes exploiting temporal, spectral and spatial domain achieve notable performance gains. • Performance gains can be translated to a power saving at the BS • Theoretical Analysis consistent with simulation results • Improved consistency in cost metric • Improved power allocation fairness • Power savings of up to 10dB can be achieved with no QoS compromise
